Sure hes impressive. But he does stupid things. He got suspended for a number of games last year for stealing (?), or drunk driving (?). Regardless of what he did, it was bad. Theres nothing worse in sports, than a talented athelete that isnt smart enough to not break the law/rules. I hate to see such talent get wasted when a player isnt really thinking about the consequences. If he keeps his head straight, he will be a great runner. I have confidence that he's learned his lesson.
Did you think Chris Weinke was smart last year, or do you think he is too old? And do you think they should have waited a year until he starts for the entire season?

I think Weinke was a mistake any way you look at it. He was wht, 29 when he was drafted? or 28? they can talk maturity all they want, but unless you are Dan Marino, it takes about 3 years to get comfortabe in a pro offense. That would make him about 31-32. Most QB's don't play past about 35-36 anyway, and I just don't think it is worth it. When he starts getting to the point he can contribute in a big way, they will by neccessity have to start looking for his replacement.
To me, if you take a player with a high draft choice, you should at least want that player, esp QB, to have at least 10 good years in him. I don't understand giving that high a pic to a player who is about to enter his 30's.
Just my opinion of course.

He actually wasnt a high pick. They got him in the 5th round or something. But you are right about the age-deal. If he was about 5 years younger, he would have been a huge bargain. Hes talented, theres no question about that. He deserved the Heisman that year. But the age-thing is really a bad deal for him. Thats why I think its a shame that Flutie played as many years in the Canadian league for aslong as he did. He would be a shoe-in for the hall of fame if he played those 10 years in the NFL. Who knows what he could have done to the defenses of the NFL if he played in those years.

@AC and this is going to murder your sleeping schedule. By waking up at 3 am today, I would have assumed that you would have gone to bed 4 hours ago. And now you cant sleep. I truly feel bad for you. Hopefully a conversation with BS will eventually get you sleepy, though, so that you can actually get that important sleep.

Damn. She beat me to the punch! I was going to sing Depeche Mode too.

Well, I'm just going to go overdose on my NyQuil and see how drowzy that makes me. I'll talk to you boys tomarrow, and if I'm not in while you two are around (I'm going shopping tomarrow, you see. ) then I will see ya around.
Hugs @ BS
Hugs @ Tibby
